Strange Events and Mysteries

[Zingari]

I don't get the 1 day growth of beard. Just means he a shave the day before his death! What strange about that?

He supposedly just went to the shops taking nothing with him, and there are no reports of his whereabouts for the period he was missing but just turned up dead 5 days later and 20 miles away . and relatively clean on the top a a big slag heap as though he had been dropped from above because he wouldn't have been able to scale such a pile and even if he had he would have got very dirty .

No one saw him or claimed that he was with them for any of that period . He must have eaten , washed and slept somewhere , but no-one saw him do any of these things .

i suppose he could have had a hidden caravan, tent or den somewhere to do these things , but surely some evidence of this would have been found . And if he had been forcibly abducted by someone , he would have shown some signs of that .

Mt best guess

Maybe he was the type of character that just wanted to stage his own death as a mystery Maybe he thought his life had meant nothing and just craved some notoriety . I still think he would have needed an accomplice to do this though , and it still wouldn't explain the strange ointment that was found on him or how he could have formulated an unidentifiable mixture as he wasn't any sort of scientist ( that we know of )

it's just a little mystery that i found quite intriguing

i'm a bit sad that way and ought to get out more

Haha. Just disappear and end up in a clapped out Renault 5 on the rock of Gibraltar, after staging a John Salako style dirty protest in the car

How about I stick you a convertible limo, and shoot you in the back of the head from a high building with a Mannlicher Carcano. I'd get some balding textile manufacturer to film it as your head exploded and went "back and to the left"

The only problem with this as far as I can see, is that you wouldn't be around anymore for me to say "told you so"

[Captain...]

This is no mystery, he was clearly walking along when he saw a hot air balloon, he waved at the man inside, but didn't get any response, so he muttered under his breath, arrogant ****, hope he crashes...

..then he did, not far away, feeling guilty he rushed over to the scene of the crash and he agreed to help fix the balloon out of penance, he got caught up working on the hot air balloon too ashamed to return to his family, 4 days flew by, on the fifth day after being fed and shaved by the millionaire who owned the balloon, he was offered a ride in said hot air balloon to say thanks, never having been in one before he readily agreed and saw it as a sign from god that he was forgiven. During the ride there was a problem with the heater thing, and the man's shirt caught fire, it was quickly removed and cast over the side, but he suffered some minor burns to his neck. Like all well prepared millionaire balloon enthusiasts, he carried a first aid kit in his trusty wicker transporter, and treated the burns with an ointment.

Unfortunately the ointment caused the man to go a bit light headed, he lost balance and fell over the side, unable to see exactly where he landed, the millionaire landed as close to the point of impact as possible and hurried back and scoured the area for this man. He naturally didn't scale a slimy greasy slag heap, so the man remained undiscovered, the millionaire just hoped he was ok and left it at that, knowing that if something had happened to him there was no way it could be linked back to him and wouldn't jeopardise his afternoon teas with the Earl of Yorkshire.

I don't see where the mystery is myself.

The problem i'd also have though is getting someone to sit directly in front of me who would also have to receive 5 gunshot wounds from the same bullet that caused me 2 wounds , and they would have to be caused over a second apart .

I don't think anyone would believe such a preposterous scenario

But i'm on the lookout for an old triumph herald convertible with the intention to try out some sort of British style re-enactment along Charles street .

Would you be prepared to play the role of LHO and sit in one of the offices above Wilkos ?

By George I think you've jolly well cracked it

I'd say yes but I got glasses recently and my aim might be a bit off. To be on the safe side maybe we should tie you up in a steel framed building and set fire to it. Then smash a couple of Boeings into the building next door.

Your choice. Either way you get to recreate a great moment in history and go out with a bang, and hopefully I get proved right. Win win.

[Rincewind]

I'd say drugged dressed up in a strange costume then tied to weather balloon, shot down by a RAF jet taken to a place where no one goes (City Ground Nottingham?) experimented on then disected and sliced into small pieces, then placed in a vault 1000 ft below ground level. Then have an official report put out that you never existed.

Is this some kind of confession?
